Hello parents, guardians, and students, The safety of students and staff is very important to me and the administrative team. Entry into and exit from our schools are restricted using access control. Staff members wear photo identification badges. Parents and others coming into schools must check in at the front desk and receive temporary identification badges before proceeding. All adults who work with our students during and after school require background checks. Parents and visitors are not allowed to meet with teachers before or after school unless previous arrangements have been made with the teacher. Parents, when bringing your child to school, or when picking up your child from an after school activity, please do not go past the front desk and travel to the teacher's classroom. If you wish to meet or speak with a teacher during either of the aforementioned times, please make arrangements with the teacher. Effective March 18th, 2019, all students, who remain after school for any activity, will be dismissed from the gym lobby and picked up in the parking lot closet to the gym. This new procedure is being implemented as another layer of safety for students and teachers. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me. As always, I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Dwight Jefferson, Principal

Parents/Guardians, Your child's interim grade report was distributed this week. Please help your child use this grade report as an indicator of how he/she is doing academically. If your child is doing well, take a moment to celebrate his/her successful habits. If he/she needs to make improvements, now is the time to help your child refocus on time management and study skill strategies. When students need academic assistance, they also have the options of meeting with teachers during their after school help days and taking advantage of Saturday School. Your child can also see me, Mrs. Shepherd, to go over academic strategies. You can help as well by assisting your child in setting a SMART goal for academic success. A SMART goal is: Specific: What do you want to accomplish? What are the requirements? What are the obstacles or constraints? Measurable: What will you measure? How will you know when you have met your goal? How will you know when the goal is accomplished? Achievable: Is your goal attainable? How can the goal be accomplished? What are the logical steps to take to achieve your goal? Realistic: Is the goal achievable within the limits of your knowledge and time? Do you have the necessary resources to accomplish this goal? Timely. How long will it take to accomplish this goal? When is the completion of this goal due? When am I going to work on this goal? A SMART goal is a great first step in achieving academic success. Have your child set small, achievable goals and be sure to celebrate successes along the way!

Any student who wishes to receive high school credit for any dual credit AACC class they have taken must present an official transcript from AACC to Dr Gonzalez. The Registrar’s Office at AACC can assist you with that.

We have begun using a new system to track students who are late to school and late to class. We will review the list periodically throughout each month, and on the first of each month, we will review the list from the previous month, and we will assign the following consequences. Late to class: for the first instance, we will give a verbal warning to the student. For the second instance, we will email the parent. For the third, we will assign the next Tuesday detention. If a student has five or more, we will assign the student a second Tuesday detention. Late to school: for the first instance, we will give a verbal warning to the student. For the second instance, we will email the parent. For the third, we will assign the next Saturday detention. If a student has five or more, we will assign the student the second Saturday detention in the next month. A couple notes about detention: Detention takes precedence over all other activities, and students must serve the detention on the date assigned to them. Students are allowed to re-schedule Detention one time for extenuating circumstances pre-approved by an administrator. If a student does not secure permission to re-schedule at least 24 hours before the start of their assigned time, the student needs to serve Detention at the time assigned to them. Failure to serve the Detention assigned will result in a one-day suspension from school for insubordination. Lawful reasons to be late to school are the same as the reasons to miss school, simply because that is what being late to school is. Those reason include death in the family, student illness, court appearance, hazardous weather, school-approved work, religious holiday, lack of authorized transportation and extenuating circumstances as determined by the Superintendent or his designee. Any absence, including absence for any portion of the day, for any reason other than those cited as lawful, shall be considered unlawful and may constitute truancy. If a student arrives to school late with a reason other than those mentioned, the student will receive an unexcused tardy. Thank you for your support in reinforcing the importance of being on time to school and to class.

CSP continues to provide a rigorous and quality education to all students. It has always been our goal to improve upon past practices, find new ways to engage students and make learning something students enjoy. We also believe that high school students need to put forth that same effort in order to be become successful adults; therefore, CSP is Repeat Free. If a student receives an E in a required high school course, the class will have to be repeated in an alternate program such as summer school, evening school and twilight school. These programs are available for students to make up credits in courses that they were not successful in the first time; classes at CSP are for students taking them for original credit. If a student does not make up the failed class in one of these alternative programs, there is a chance that we will not be able to schedule the student for the classes required for graduation and the student will have to take classes at CSP for more than four years.
